A five here. I won’t be hurt if you go out without me tonight. But every once in a while, I’m up for the wild and crazy. Good post!

Haha, I just love finding out people’s numbers, it’s fascinating π I am such an Enthusiast… which is often followed by a loss of interest… I admire Five’s diligence and attention to detail π

Wow, I’m intrigued now and have never heard about this. How very cool. It reminds me of a class I once took about the different leaders. Recognizing their personal traits and how some are cheerleaders and others prefer to be more quiet. It was eye opening.

This is great ! I think I’m a nine, but I’d need to review to be sure.. have you explored much the intersect between MBTI and enneagram?

No I haven’t- the Enneagram just grabbed me so fully.
I have several friends who are Nines: deciding features include being happy to lie down & do nothing for most of the day, plus not liking disagreements- do they sound like you?

Not liking disagreements, yes… lying down all day? Not exactly! Though I do need to build in daydreaming time, meditation time, and do-not-much-of-anything time into each day!

yes, you sound like a 9… π [Daydreaming, meditating, and do-not-much-of-anything time often happen lying down or reclining… the need for that quiet time is essential, however you sit/stand/lie for it] π

Ha ha, Gabrielle, this is great! I can totally see you as a 7. I’m a 2, with a 3 and 7 close runners up. π
I studied the Enneagram a bit with Robert Holden in a coaching school I was in. Fascinating, isn’t it?
Blessings to you. Lovely to reconnect.

That’s interesting: I have quite a few 2’s in my world, with a 3 Wing so they are slightly achievement/goal orientated: sounds like you ππͺπΌ
Have a fab week, G xO

Yes! Wow no kidding. Maybe we’ll end up meeting some time. BTW I know a number of people in Melbourne. They do cool spiritual gatherings, and I visited a # of years ago. Blessings Gabrielle!

It seems I’m a walking contradiction. πππ I’m mostly a 2 (and I really don’t see me like that) but also high on 3, 8, 1 and 9 on one test.
A second type of test also gave me a highest 2 and high 6, 7, 8 and 3! I’m a mess! π

Ok, that’s interesting- it can be a challenge to admit the truth of your number- Sevens are often described as superficial and/or scattered, which I wouldn’t immediately identify with… and yet, I AM comfortable being gossipy, & slightly lazy/unfocused, so yes, I had to admit that in my more ‘negative’ aspects, I actually AM those things! Which is what helped me find the truth. Because a Seven at their best is positive, generous, & brings the gift of Joy to many: this is absolutely true of me πππΌπ
Twos value community, & being needed; Threes like Achievements, & can be a bit aloof; Nines are pretty laid back, while Eights are the pushy, feisty, won’t-take-No-for-an-answer leaders- any one of those resonate? Reading a good book will help you; you could be a Two with a Three Wing…
You’re obviously a complex character, but everyone can find their number eventually πβ€

The problem is I do see myself everywhere. π I have a lot of two, for sure. At work, I can definitely be an eight when I have to be, which is often. Because of that, I tend to switch off at home (this caused plenty of arguments with BH). I adapt and I am fluid. You’re right: complex indeed! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ

A Two with a Three wing would be very assertive & achievement orientated, while still caring about their community; an Eight is quite ruthless, & can trample people (which a Two would never do)

Wowowowow, great post! I just did the test and it looks like I’m mainly a 6 with 2 and 4 coming in close behind! π

Oh I’m glad you took a test! A really good friend of mine is a 6; knowing your slightly negative habits can really help take their power away…
